Promotion of Work-Life Balance

Preventing Overwork and Promoting Work-Life Balance

We have implemented a staggered working hours system and remote work system to encourage employee’s work-life balance. We also are making efforts to prepare environments such as a remote work and use of satellite offices so that various employees are able to fully use their abilities while having peace of mind.

Support System for Parents Raising Children

Kumiai has various working systems to support employees who are raising children. The short-time working hour system can be used until a child enters junior high school. The staggered working hours system can be used on a single-day basis. Many employees use a remote work system that was introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic for preventing infection.
In recent years, the number of male employees taking childcare leave is increasing. We will continue making efforts to create a comfortable work environment.
